If you are not a trade union member who or where can an individual turn to to discuss an employment dispute?

Question

Need to meet with someone face to face to discuss a contract.

If you are in dispute with your [company] employer, is there any official body where an employee can go for advice?
Example-
A Union member would be represented by a union employment lawer, but if your not a union member who can an employee turn to for advice outside the company?

Answer 1

Hi,

If you want advice about a specific problem or query you can call ACAS on 08457 474747. They are really useful, very knowledgeable and unbiased, happy to discuss any employment related issue you may have.

If you want to see someone face to face I would suggest either a employment law solicitor (although that will cost you) or sometimes if you go to the Citizens Advice Bureau they have advisors who can help you.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

To to an employment solicitor. They usually give you an initial free meeting (say 30 minutes) to evaluate your case/dispute and then you can take it from there. Alternatively, try the Equal Opportunities Commission or, ACAS.

Answer 3

You should have a Human Resources manager if its a big enough company.
But if you want an objective view of the contract, you could try a free session with an employment solicitor, or your local CAB.

Answer 4

company HR department is a good place to start. Depending on the dispute you could also try the EEOC or the state's Department of Labor.

Answer 5

Your company should have a Human Resources department. Get in touch with them.

Answer 6

Discuss it with whomever you have the contract with. Otherwise, try your (un) employment, state or Federal govt labor boards.
